In the mid-17th
century of Britain, the Navigation Acts was established. These acts was made
mainly for safeguarding English shipping, and ensuring profit from the colonies.
The British Government added many taxes such as Tea Act, Quartering Act, Stamp
Act, etc. without allowing the participation of the Thirteen colonies. The
Loyalist view on the Tea Act or Boston Party Act was that since the British
government had financial crisis over the Boston tea party, and the act was
established to get more funds from the colonies. Their perspective on this act
is that this is a form of treachery towards the king.
